Harbor views stretch endlessly from this striking contemporary bayfront retreat on Balboa Peninsula, where architecture and setting merge to create a home of exceptional style and ease. A collaboration between its visionary owner and the late architect Kurt Donat, the residence sits on a coveted corner lot, capturing ever-changing panoramas of the turning basin, city lights, and beyond. Sliding glass doors open to a generous waterfront deck, blending indoor and outdoor living while framing the natural beauty of the harbor. Encompassing approximately 4,256 square feet, the thoughtfully designed layout includes a spacious great room that flows seamlessly into a chef’s kitchen with an oversized island, marble countertops, and English Sycamore cabinetry. The main level also offers a guest suite with a private bath, powder room, and an attached three-car garage. Upstairs, the primary suite spans the full width of the home, showcasing breathtaking water views, a fireplace, built-in workspace, and a limestone bath with a soaking tub. Four additional bedrooms, two baths, and a versatile loft complete the second level. Distinctive materials are woven throughout, including maple ceilings, mahogany floors, Venetian plaster, limestone, stainless steel railings, Brazilian Blue granit
